affirmations for when you have to send emails

[steamos-official]

The curse is completionism. Not sure if I inherited it from my dad, learned it from my dad, or just put it upon myself.

I'll add you to the secondary list and officially add you in ~V21.

I hate that i have to ask this

it is my duty

it is my curse

it is my self-imposed-requirement

do you want to be on the list (my pinned)?

((please say no)) ((you don't have to, but the list is bad enough already)) ((i will add you if you say yes)) ((i don't want to tho))

wait, you're telling me that Computers can me Exercised?

Honestly I don't know why people are so hellbent on staying with Windows when Linux has distributions like

AmogOS

Hannah Montana Linux

Ubuntu Satanic Edition (comes with free metal music)

UWUntu (Annoyingly a really good OS and one of the funniest too. The guys who make it recommend you anime movies every time you install a new version)

Windows

I had a SOLID setup going with it, and I could keep it going!

I would also have working drivers and .bat (my fav programming language btw) working again!

I would miss being able to change the DE tho.

I don't trust Microsoft much, but there are ways around their tyranny.

ok- hypothetical here:

in a world where linux distro's, bsd, or any other FOSS system suddenly blink from existance (so basically a nightmare) would you rather use Mac, Windows, Chrome, etc

NO Haiku either since I know that would dominate the polls.

I want to see what would happen if you were forced to sell your data to a company. Who would you trust more, and why? what do you prioritize when it comes down to limited options?

being toxic about it is indeed encouraged

I'm surprised that this is only the second time that this blog has been called on me.

how do I linux? 👉👈🥺

idk, install it and fuck around and find out??

[steamos-official]

Linuk is one of the best ways to

become insufferable

pay less money for your computer

have less reliance on billionaires

learn more about your computer

customize your computer

join a cult

not deal with modern windows nonsense like ads and AI while keeping the windows interface

be sure apple isn't spying on you while keeping the macos interface

Pspspspsps linux users please convince me of the merits of your preferred form of linux

@arch-official @virtualgirladvance and anyone else who knows this stuff

Windows Breifcase

I have fourish debian computers rn so I'm brainstorming ways to keep them all updated in lock step and share most, but not all of my config files between them. Any ideas?

That's a cool looking setup

@monaddecepticon can rate the neo-tech while I learn about this distro. (what's a Gallium OS?)

ok people in the discord servers i'm in know how much of a pain in the ass this was to get functioning, so i'm happy to announce that my dedicated media player -- a shitty samsung chromebook 2 from high school -- is now up and running! i have vlc installed, after much finagling i got hyfetch installed (a necessity in my mind), i got a catgirl for my wallpaper (another necessity), and i'm in the process of setting up ncmpcpp. yes, this has less than 16 gb of storage -- less than many people's RAM -- but a permanent sd card is the solution to that problem :3

but seriously this was such a pain in the ass. it must have taken 5 hours to get this to this state between my inexperience with hardware and firmware (i'm a software girlie), this chromebook's particular tomfuckery, and galliumOS being irritable. please clap.

Further calculations:

A CRT can be found:

Ebay - $50+

Amazon - (not included in calculations)

Ewaste - Rare

Garage sale - $20-$60, unrare

Garage sale - Free, Epic

Let us assume garage sale prices $30 on average where I've seen

10gs/wk (not many) tends to yeild 2-3mon($30)/wk

that's $2880 for 72 monitors, and would take ~29 weeks

or that's $750 for 25 monitors, and would take ~10 weeks

You can set the price point lower (by not grabbing monitors that cost more than a threshold), but that increases time.

You can also go to more garage sales.

These prices are based purely on my observations, and do not include such things as

rarity

price of adapters (display port to old TV is nearly impossible to find)

change in market

I can't be the only one who wants to take 25 or so CRT TVs, stack them up, connect them all to one computer, and have a Flint Lockwood style gaming setup.

Calculations:

the best graphics card i've seen for this has 6 or 8 mini-DP outputs

Assuming that it's the lower (6) and that these are DP++, we can connect them to a hub that turns 1 Display Port to 3 Display ports (this cannot be repeated due to bandwidth)

This results in 6*3=18 monitors per card

The best motherboard i've seen for this has 3 or 4 PCIe slots, so let's take the lower (3)

That's 18*3=72 monitors

I'm not sure whether this would actually work, nor whether there's a CPU that can manage that many, but that's some cool stuff!

72 = 2*2*2*3*3 = 8*9

That's right, you can have an 8x9 grid of monitors with this method!

That's nearly half of the blogs on my list ya know

what if instead of calling it linux, they called it freax, and instead of being one of the best os'es ever, we just got freaky
